Picking spots VERY cautiously ... unlike you I don't look to short term investments very often ... I keep seeking deeper value thats not quite so obvious to others ... So I have begun dabbling in some Canadian royalty trusts that seem to have been marked down too much ... and Hudson City Bank did appear interesting to me so dipped a toe in there with my Momentum Port ... we'll see ...

Otherwise I went into some telecom a while back (VZ) and am keeping on eye on that ... I keep watching for both Telecom and or Utility infrastructure plays to exhibit signs that the ARRA will allow for more than a short term transitory play, but I don't think I see such signs yet ... but then again, maybe I need to get out of the den a bit more often <smile>? However, here on the Northern Plains winter seems to be coming in strong and early, so maybe its a sign to hunker down and wait out the chilly winds blowing through all sorts of environments?
